One-pot Cannizzaro cascade synthesis of ortho-Fused Cycloocta-2,5-dien-1-ones from 2-Bromo(hetero)aryl aldehydes

An intramolecular Cannizzaro-type hydride transfer to an in situ prepared allene enables the synthesis of orthofused 4-substituted cycloocta-2,5-dien-1-ones with unprecedented technical ease for an eight-ring carboannulation. Various derivatives could be obtained from commercially available (hetero)...
